I've never changed a grip on a sport bike - never needed to I haven't found that they wear at all.

now MX grips about once per year it appears it will happen....

Same here... I have the Oxford heated grip wraps... they only worked for one trip, then the right grip went out. I tried fixing them but no use, but the wrap portion is still there, because the larger grip is more comfortable and kills much of the vibs from the 400cc thumper

I might have to give those a try on my ER-6N. There is hardly any girth on those handles. They have a small diameter and you know it hurts clutching a pencil than a baseball bat.

try these... http://www.aerostich.com/a-to-b-util...rap-grips.html

add girth, as well as heat

The only bike I've ever changed grips on was my '88 GSXR 1100, but it was a 20 year-old bike that had lived outside on a small island for most of its life, so the stockers were worn out. All my other bikes have been nothing but stock grips.

I did just add a crampbuster yesterday due to all the commuting miles I've been putting in, and love it so far.

Ive been using mx grips on my street bikes for a few years, they seem to be more comfortable to me

I must be one of the few here who has actually had grips like that before.

Foam is a bad idea mmkay. Once they get wet, well, they will hold that water, and they will go bad even faster than the stockers.

Been there done that won't do it again.

I can count on one hand the number of folks around here that will ride when rain is even in the forecast :lol:

Trace is one... shit he's in car washes...


here's what I was using... they're still on the bike... even though the relay isn't

Sun can't see the grips when your hands are on them. Hands are supposed to be on the grips when you're riding.
Clearly this means you don't ride enough. Get out there pussy. :lol:

You're right... and it seems to get worse the more time goes on.
